The option to force Pre-Roll on the server side. \*Not defaulted on

The ability to force a preroll instead of requesting users to turn this on, client sided, and some, many clients would be best.

I personally use this feature for friends, large events, we use this in my bar, being able to play an ad before a video automatically is helpful, instead of having to adjust each client individually. When you have 16 TVs, each with its own, in this case, Roku, showing a different playlist of movies/videos, adding ads is easier on the server side, instead of adjusting the playlists for each weekend.

A request for the same feature exists already, and it has more votes.

> I would love to be able to force pre-roll videos on my remote users. I would like to see pre-rolls be completely separated from the trailers feature. No one knows about it to actually go into the settings on their device and enable the feature themselves. It should be the PMS host’s option. Who’s with me on this?

Therefore this one is closed.  
Votes are given back to the users who voted on this request. Please think of re-voting in the other thread if you still want it.
